ICT equipment currently accounts for 3-4% of the world's carbon emissions, and 10% of the UK's energy bill. With a carbon footprint now equal to the aviation industry, ICT, and how businesses utilise ICT, are increasingly coming under the spotlight as governments seek to achieve carbon-cutting commitments.
Eco Web Hosting aims to counter this trend by offering individuals and companies a carbon-neutral web hosting service. They carefully calculate the carbon emissions of our whole business, and ensure that significantly more than this total is absorbed by our trees in Ransom Wood Business Park in Nottinghamshire.
To date they have planted over 300 English Oak trees, which at present absorb more than three times the carbon produced by their servers.
Users of Eco Web Hosting service can be confident that not only are they getting an ultra-reliable, highly functional web hosting solution, they are also helping the environment. |
